Funny how that changed when the thug took out Ben.
 
"Win one for the Gipper- Big Ben!" Steelers are probably happy he came back out from the locker room to join the team on the sidelines so he was able to carry out the miracle turnover and penalty plagued miracle finish. He is one tough guy!

They pretty much fucked Ben and his receiver for the next game. When Ben went into the locker room, he had x-rays done, but probably also got shot up with painkillers. It didn't look like he was able to throw very far when he went back in, and right before the chaos at the end he took another hit to the same shoulder. Brown might not clear concussion protocol before next week.

Definitely in the top 5 quarterbacks of all time. Too bad they have Cinci in their division. Constantly taking those season-ending type injuries from those thugs.

They took out Le'veon Bell two years in a row. Injured Ben twice this year. And now Brown.

Roethlisberger did not want to address the extent of the injury in his postgame news conference, saying "we won the game" when asked what news he received from trainers in the locker room. He's scheduled to have additional exams on Sunday.

Roethlisberger said he was in "a lot" of pain on that final drive. He told coaches he couldn't take any deep shots to the end zone because he couldn't throw the ball that far.

"I'm going to give everything I can," said Roethlisberger about playing in the AFC divisional round on Sunday at Denver.

"It looked pretty bad, to be honest," DeCastro said. "He showed a lot of toughness to come back like that."

After having X-rays on the shoulder, Roethlisberger jogged back onto the field with 5:12 remaining in the game and the Steelers clinging to a 15-10 lead. Backup Landry Jones stayed in on the Steelers' next possession and remained in even after the Bengals took a 16-15 lead with less than two minutes to go.

Jones was intercepted by Burfict, only for Bengals running back Jeremy Hill to fumble on their next possession, leading to Big Ben's return late.

"It was dire," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "We kind of looked at each other and kind of said it's now or never."

Pittsburgh loses because their #1 RB will sit. Cincy was promised a playoff win this season. Bet on it. Any team whose #1 RB sits will lose their playoff game, whether genuine injury or just part of the script. Learned that lesson last season...

I guess somebody didn't get the message. Maybe things are being set up for Peyton Manning's Swan Song Season just like John Elway who owns part of the Broncos- going out a winner (based on his performances during the regular season, he will need a lot of help to achieve it).

More blackmail to the cities. All three proposals rejected. "Give us more money!!!"

Roger Goodell says NFL stadium proposals are not viable in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego

The current stadiums in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego are "unsatisfactory and inadequate," and the proposed solutions are not viable to keep the Raiders, Rams and Chargers in their home markets, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a report distributed Saturday to all 32 teams.

The contents of the 48-page report were disclosed to The Times by someone who has seen it but is not authorized to discuss it publicly.

The intent of the report is to establish facts about the home markets, as the league views them, heading into a special meeting in Houston on Tuesday and Wednesday to resolve the two-decade L.A. vacancy.

The report does not give teams the green light to move to Los Angeles — that will be determined by owners' voting — but establishes that the home markets have failed to provide stadium solutions.

Goodell does not make any recommendations about which club or clubs should be approved to relocate, or which stadium project — Carson or Inglewood — should be approved.

At least 24 league owners must vote to approve a move. The commissioner does not have a vote, but his strongly worded report is intended to provide objective information that will assist each club in making its own judgment on the proposals.

In the report, Goodell said that each of the home markets had "ample opportunity but did not develop their proposals sufficiently to ensure the retention of its NFL team."

More at link.

Earlier this week at league headquarters in New York, the stadium, finance and L.A. committees discussed those applications and met with the backers of each project. The Chargers and Raiders have teamed to propose a stadium in Carson; the Rams want to build a stadium in Inglewood.

After the meeting, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who did not attend, sent a one-page letter to Goodell saying that he supports the Chargers and Rams sharing the Inglewood stadium. The letter didn't mention the Raiders, a person familiar with the document said on the condition of not being identified.

One rumor has the Chargers going to LA and the Raiders moving into San Diego but nobody knows anything until the owners meet this week. Or it could be put off. Again.
 
Vikings up 3 nothing at the half...

I'd like to see them and Green Bay win today and next week, Green Bay win the championship, and then meet and beat Pittsburgh in the SB.
 
Seattle went for it on 4th and long from the 30 instead of kicking the FG. It's so cold they aren't kicking anything but chip shots.
 
That play was a lot like the fake fumble in the Stanford game, except it was real. It makes the DBs hesitate trying to decide whether to keep covering their guy or go for the ball.
 
Here's my girl comment: I like Seattle's uniforms. They look very sleek and athletic, unlike Minnesota that looks like something off Pinterest.
